I wish he'd make firjme plans about his retire ment. Mr. W. A. I'm tired of plans. I'll just sit and watch grass grow! ; iiusan P. My father will rc liiie in April. He doesn't seem to1 realize that the change af fects my mother and me, as much as it does him. When my mother tries to set up a new schedule, he snaps at her. I'd work out a design for him if he'd let me. Mr. W. A. The trouble with Susan and her mother is that they're afraid I'll hang around them all day once I stop going to business. I wish they'd stop worrying. I'll just take one day at a time and there'll be plenty to occupy me. Maybe I'll read "War and Peace." The Council: What people say they want for their retirement years sounds so simple. A lady we visited in a nursing home was counting the days till she could get home to "my TV and my knitting." Another friend, rounding out 35 years of school teaching, looks forward to "a cup of coffee every morning at 10:30 and not having to talk unless I feel like it."But honest ly, Mr. A., face to face with a length of days" stretching ahead, these retirees and you too will find that you want more. In "A Full Life After 65," Edith M. Stern recommends filling me post-retirement vacuum purposefully" to promote good mental health. Mr. A. dreads bom catapulted into a routin- ized way of life not of his choosing a lob. studies, hob bies, and the usual "busy" pat tern. His family dreads having him "at loose ends," perhaps Decoming a nuisance in his ef forts to fill (and kill) time. Neither fear need materialize. Mr. A. may be the contempla tive type wno finds peace in reading, thinking, and ambling about at his own pace. But even so he'll fare better if he draws up a blueprint now of how his new life will touch the lives of his family and community. It will and should.

The tax reductions have been steep, have slashed the rate on low-medium income families by more than 50 per cent. As a direct result, the Austrian government's tax collections have almost tripled since 1952. Spending by the Austrian people has more than doubled. Simultaneously, savings are at an all-time record. While the pace of Austria's economic expansion has slowed recently, her over-all economic growth since the 1950s has been astounding. Can it be that the U. S. government will collect more in taxes after it puts through tax reductions totaling $11 billion a year? Repeatedly, skeptics ask this question and understandably. There does seem an upside-down logic in the claim that the Treasury's tax take will be higher after rates are reduced than before. Yet, Austria's answer to the question is a flat YES. In an exclusive statement. Dr. Rcinhard Kamitz. world-known president of the Austrian National Bank, summarized it for the united Mates: "Austria's record is proof for the correctness of my opinion that public revenues primarily depend on the volume of economic activities much more so than on the height of tax rates. "Economic expansion is much more dynamic at low tax rates than at high tax rates." Of course, our economy can't be compared with Austria's in size or in diversity, in stage of development or in living standards. Nevertheless, the story of Austria's economy after each tax cut is so striking that it demands study by all of us and particularly by the Senate cynics who insist that tax re ductions will dangerously reduce tax revenues and thus swell our budget deficits to catastrophic levels. Austria's first tax cute became effective Jan. 1, 1954. As an illustration of its size, it reduced the tax on a married couple earning $3,600 a year from $1,453.44 to $1,128.96. In 1955 Austria's tax collections were a whopping 12.4 per cent higher than in 1954. The increase in her gross national prod uct the measure of her economic growth was a remarkable 14.7 per cent. The second tax cut became effective Jan. 1, 1955. As an illus tration of its size, it reduced the tax on that $3,600 a year couple to $987.44. In 1956 the Austrian government's tax collections were 8.7 per cent above the previous year's totals. Her gross national product jumped another remarkable 10.1 per cent. The third tax cute became effective Jan. 1, 1958. This one re duced the tax on that $3,600 a year couple to $843.92. In 1959 the government's tax take was up 6.8 per cent over the year before. Her gross national product climbed agein, by 6.2 per cent. The fourth tax cut went into effect July 1, 1962 and it reduces that married couple's tax to around $800. Figures on its impact are not yet available but with employment, consumer spending and total productions at all-time records, the likelihood is that the Austrian government's tax collections are up too. While the timing of Senate passage of the tax bill continues fuzzy, passage of a bill generally along the lines of that ap proved by the House in September appears certain, with the cuts to begin taking effect in 1964. It would be unrealistic even to hope that the tax cuts will so spur the economy that our Treasury's tax collections will sky rocket immediately. They won't. But the tax cuts will leave more money for spending in our pocketbooks and cash registers. They will help create new jobs and new paychecks. They will increase the volume of economic activities" and this volume, as Kamitz says, is what determines tax collections. , Austria's record tells us plainly that lower rates over the years will produce more taxes than today s rates produce. Suit lor Libel By Defeated Candidate Starts OKANOGAN. Wash. (UPI) - The $225,000 libel suit brought by former State Rep. John Gold man: and nis wue, sally, went to trial Monday as selection of a jury got under way in Okano gan County Superior Court. A jury list of 360 names was being used. The suit was filed after Gold mark lost his bid for renomina tion to his seat in the State House of Representatives in the 1962 Democratic primary elec tion.

LUNCH WITH EDITORS WASHINGTON (UPI)-Prcsi- dent Kennedy plans to lunch Wednesday with a group of 25 Ohio newspaper editors and pub lishers. It will be the 23rd of a series of such meetings with editors from various states. United Press International SAN JUAN, P.R. (UPI)-Thc "It's a small world" phenome non works very well in Puerto Rico. I had been here only a few hours when I ran into Irwin Tress. Yes, I said Irwin Tress. You were expecting maybe Judge Crater? I knew Tress about 15 years ago when he was a photograph er for the International News Service in Miami, Fla. It was in Korea, however, that he became a living legend. After the outbreak of the K rean War, Lee Ferrero, an IIw man in Seoul, began petitioning the home office for additional reporters. Finally, he was noti fied that help was on the way. Event Immortalized But Fcrrero's joy turned to consternation when his rein forecement arrived. In fact, the event was immortalized in a journalistic folk song, the first verse of v.'iich went like this: "My name is Lee Ferrero "And I work for INS. "I asked for correspondents "And they sent me Irwin Tress." Tress is now public relations director at El Commandante, the San Juan race track, Itap peared to me that they were made tor eacn otner. Only someone like Irwin could fully appreciate El Comman dante. And vice versa. Tress conducted a tour of the track one afternoon for me and several other mainlanders from a group of about 500 who came here as guests of the Sheraton Corp. for the opening of a new resort hotel. Camcrcro's Grave "See that floral horseshoe in the track infield?" he said. "That is where Camcrero is buried. Camcrero won 56 consecutive races, more inan any omcr horse in history. Then he devel oped ulcers and died. "El Commandante also is the home track of Pedro Juan Vi- nales, a jockey who rode for 11 years without winning a race. He lost 390 races In a row. Peo ple said he was the only jockey in the world who could have lost on Camcrero. "Finally one day, whei; there e only three other horses in race,- his horse won. The crowd went wild. They rushed out of the grandstand, hoisted Vinalcs on their shoulders and threw him in the infield lake. "Vinales donated his purse to charity and never raced again. He wanted to quit a winner. Un like Camerero, he is still alive and hasn't a trace of ulcers. There may be a moral there if you care to search for it." I can believe all of this story except the last part. I bet on seven noises that afternoon and I strongly suspect that Vinales rode them all.
